Most of us are not doctors, though we have a functional medicine D.O. advising. We are bringing the latest health information to a broad population. You should always consult with your own medical professionals.

Intellectual Health
Intellectual health is your ability and willingness to think critically, learn new things, stay curious, and use knowledge to solve problems and make informed decisions.

Curiosity
Curiosity, as part of intellectual health, is the inner spark that makes us ask “Why?” and “What if?” instead of just accepting things as they are. It keeps our mind flexible and alive, pulling us toward new ideas, perspectives, and experiences rather than leaving us with what we already know. When we follow our curiosity with openness instead of fear, learning becomes about discovering how much more there is to explore.

Being open to new things means letting unfamiliar ideas, people, and experiences challenge your assumptions instead of automatically defending them. It’s the willingness to say, “There is more than one partially accurate perception of this idea, person, or fact. Let's learn”. When we stay open to new things, our mind doesn’t just collect information; it evolves, becoming more capable of understanding a complex world.
Click for moreLifelong Learning
Lifelong learning is the choice to treat your entire life as a classroom, not just school years, but every job, mistake, success, and conversation. It’s the mindset that says, “There is always more to understand,” turning aging from a slow closing of doors into a steady opening of new ones. When we commit to lifelong learning, our mind stays sharp, humble, and resilient; better able to adapt, create, and find meaning in a changing world.
Click for moreCritical Thinking
Critical thinking is the ability to slow down, question what you’re hearing or thinking, and look for evidence instead of just accepting the first explanation that appears. It means examining assumptions, your own and others’,spotting biases, and asking, “Does this really follow?” before you decide what to believe or do. When we practice critical thinking, we protect ourselves from manipulation, make wiser choices, and turn information overload into understanding.
Click for moreProblem Solving
Problem solving is the skill of turning “This is a mess” into “Here’s the next step,” breaking big challenges into pieces you can actually work with. It means shifting from panic or blame into curiosity, testing options, learning from what doesn’t work, and refining your approach instead of giving up. When we build our problem-solving muscles, setbacks become puzzles rather than dead ends, and we start to trust ourselves to handle whatever life throws our way.
Click for moreMemory
Memory is the living library of our experiences where facts, stories, and lessons are stored so we don’t have to start from zero every time. It lets us connect past and present, using what we’ve already seen, felt, and learned to make better decisions and have a deeper sense of the world. When we care for our memory, through rest, attention, and repetition, we’re not just keeping information; we’re preserving the threads that give our life continuity and identity.
Click for moreCreativity
Creativity is the ability to combine old ideas in new ways, seeing possibilities where others see limits or routine. It keeps the mind playful and flexible, inviting us to experiment, imagine alternatives, and express what hasn’t been said yet in our own unique voice. When we nurture creativity, we don’t just solve problems; we invent options, redesign our lives, and turn everyday thinking into a source of innovation and joy.

Any Questions
Are you doctors?
Why shouldn't I just go to my doctor for this?
Well, most doctors in Western medicine care for the sick, not the fairly healthy. Since many specialties exist, covering these eight categories would take multiple professionals. We seek to give you a base for understanding your own health, enabling you to make positive changes on your own, and providing a foundation of knowledge to enable better conversations with your existing medical personnel.
What change methodology do you subscribe to?
While our process is based on the transtheoretical model of change, we recognize that change is an individual phenomenon with over-arching patterns. We will work with you to create change plans that match your life and accepted constraints.
I don't really want to change much, but I'd like to understand more about myself.
We will warn you, self-understanding is the first step on a journey to understand others. If your goal is personality assessment and assessments relating to your early life and 'how you were built', we have a site dedicated to that endeavor. Please visit ...
Can I just focus on one area?
While you certainly can focus in one area, holistic health looks at the integrated human and seeks to improve each area slightly, rather than improving only one area deeply. Over time, individual improvements in all areas are the goal for a fully integrated life.
I need specific care. Can you recommend a medical doctor, functional medicine specialist, or therapist?
While this is not a feature we offer today, we can foresee a network of trusted professionals coming together and being included in this answer in the future. In the meantime, we encourage you to find someone locally or online that you trust in these areas.
